Things to check:
1) Are you specifying the FULL email address, including domain? Yahoo requires this.
2) Try “localhost” instead of “127.0.0.1”; ISTR some problems with that.
I’m suspicious that this flat out may not be possible. Yahoo requires SPA (Secure Password Authentication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Password_Authentication ), apparently, and Eudora doesn’t appear to support that.

I have pared down the config file to the bare essentials, dealing with Yahoo only, and still get the error message about username and password being not recognized. I have tested these via browser access to my Yahoo server, and found them to be correct. Does anyone have any further suggestions please?
ERROR MESSAGE "There has been an error transferring your mail. POP Server [[email protected]] said ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted" I used the same password to open My Account on Yahoo website without any problems
